Preface

It has been known for many years from histopathological studies that autofluorescence is present in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to the presence of lipofuscin. The demonstration that the excitation spectrum of the “orange-red” fluorophores extends into the visible range indicated that imaging of lipofuscin was accessible to in vivo excitation. However, in vivo recording in humans of autofluorescence using spectrophotometric techniques and imaging with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope are relatively recent.

It is believed that the level of autofluorescence represents a balance between accumulation and clearance of lipofuscin. Accumulation of fluorescent material in the RPE reflects the level of metabolic activity, which is largely determined by the quantity of photoreceptor outer segment renewal. Abnormally high levels are thought to be due to RPE cell dysfunction or to the RPE’s being subjected to an abnormal metabolic load as occurs in Stargardt disease, in which the discs contain abnormally high levels of N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2-E). Evidence of clearance is derived from the observation that outer retinal degeneration is associated with decreased autofluorescence. This could be due to a variety of factors. There appears to be constant degradation of residual bodies in the RPE. There is evidence of photodegradation of A2-E, and in addition, long-term phagolysosomes may be discharged from the RPE cells into the extracellular space.

It is now clear that autofluorescence imaging is useful for diagnosis in patients with visual loss and that certain inherited disorders have distinctive patterns of change.

Perhaps more important is the ability to assess the state of the RPE/photoreceptor complex in ageing. Until recently the only index of ageing was the state of Bruch’s membrane as indicated by the number, size, and distribution of drusen. It is now possible to assess changes in the RPE, and it has been recognised for some years that the RPE plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular disease (AMD). It has been shown that the pattern of autofluorescence varies among patients. However, there is marked symmetry between the eyes of those with bilateral early AMD, implying that autofluorescence characteristics reflect the risk factors, whether genetic or environmental. Furthermore, it is believed that geographic atrophy is preceded by focal increases in autofluorescence, and this belief has given rise to concepts regarding pathological processes in this form of late disease. Lipofuscin is a free radical

generator when illuminated with blue light. It also acts as a surfactant that causes leakage of membranes and a rise in the pH of phagolysosomes, with consequent predictable loss of activity of degradative enzymes. In turn, lack of recycling from phagosomes may result in lack of material for outer segment renewal and photoreceptor cell death. Of perhaps the greatest importance is the ability to verify the integrity of the RPE/photoreceptor complex prior to treatment of choroidal neovascularisation such that the likely therapeutic outcome may be determined. This can be verified on the basis of autofluorescence imaging. If it is shown that therapeutic benefit can be predicted by autofluorescence imaging, it should become a routine part of the management of such cases, particularly in light of the therapeutic results of the new biological agents.

The value of autofluorescence imaging to clinical practice has been shown beyond any doubt, although, as with many new techniques, the clinical value of the technique has yet to be fully understood. It gives information that is of major clinical importance but is not yet accessible by any other technique.

In this book the principles of autofluorescence imaging are explained, the scope of the technique is summarised, and its application in clinical practice is illustrated. It is hoped that this information will help make the technique more widely available and of greater value to the clinician.
